Topnano’s ESG and Sustainable Development

TOP Nanometal Corporation (Topnano) is a manufacturer with roll-to-roll vacuum sputtering flexible electronic materials as its core technology. The sputtering process is a type of PVD (physical vapor deposition). It is an environmentally friendly dry nano- coating technology.
